The Tyrant

[Lyrics by Fadi Sarieddine]

Beware the rage rising from the east 
A merciless tyrant, a rampaging beast 
Brigade of slayers shielding his chest 
Seven heads ten horns lay on his crest 

Everything means nothing 
All you've ever known 
All will turn to ashes 
As our destiny unfolds 
The world as we know it 
Falls into the deep 
Forces of terror 
Have tainted our creed 

Lies and deception guide his way 
Tears of joy mark his day 
Little they know, they're cheering for 
The evil beast will destroy them all 

Holding together all the right keys 
He brings the seventh down to its knees 
Day by day, reform by reform 
We are all plunged to the unknown 

Fear, pain, sorrow 
Integral to his reign 
Freedom, abandoned 
All in his name 

His timely murder, all well planned 
Giving rise to the king of the damned 
He seeks revenge for his fallen son 
The end of times has begun 

Everything means nothing 
All you've ever known 
All will turn to ashes 
As our destiny unfolds 
The world as we know it 
Falls into the deep 
Forces of terror 
Have tainted our creed
